Principal investigator at an undeserving midwestern university. I am ill-tempered and well-endowed. Beware.

Upon consideration, "I Want A New Drug" raises the still-unanswered question: what drug are you on presently, Mr. Lewis? Cocaine's the easy answer, fairly standard for your profession... or are you a weed man? Ketamine, perhaps? You appear relaxed yet frantic... one of the more obscure laboratory psychedelics?

Further questions come to mind: how do you feel when you're with me? and how do the majority of my acquaintances feel in my presence? 'Alert' seems like a safe bet to start with. Wary? Defensive? A little inadequate, and yet a little contemptuous? Yes. Do methamphetamine, Mr. Lewis. Not too much.

in reply to @doctorwednesday's post:

Upon consideration, we can infer that the drug (or more likely, combinations of drugs) that Huey is currently on has the following effects:

  • Nausea (Makes him sick)
  • Loss of motor control and/or cognitive function (Makes him crash his car)
  • Impairs his reaction time (Makes him feel three feet thick)
  • Headaches, dry mouth, bloodshot eyes
  • Paranoia
  • Insomnia
  • Drowsiness
  • Euphoria
  • Depression
  • Compulsive need to talk
  • Acne

Given the contradictory nature of these symptoms, I think it's likely that he's on some manner of cocktail of drugs. Perhaps he's in the k-hole, and trying to escape it by doing rails? And then goes too far, and smokes a joint to take the edge off, and while he's at it might as well have some vodka.

If he's not vomiting profusely, I wouldn't imagine DMT/ayahuasca is suggested. The 'three feet thick' testimony does bring to mind a really brutal S. divinorum episode, but he might well have simply blazed up too enthusiastically. Perhaps we'd better keep him under observation, maybe take a blood sample, maybe several.
